British Petroleum’s reaction to the disaster in Texas City, in which they ultimately decided to invest one billion dollars to upgrade and maintain the plant facilities, was perhaps the single most laudable decision during the course of the disaster and its aftermath. The company’s reaction however was mixed as initial reports were inaccurate, and misleadingly so, about the causes of the disaster, and therefore the responsibility for it, directly contradicting initial promises of a full investigation.

...disaster in a more realistic way. Contagion presents data to explain spread of disease and the number of people at risk in each city. Both Contagion and Outbreak bring focus on the various ways in which highly contagious diseases can spread. However, Contagion also gives real information that can help real people in society protect themselves in the event of an epidemic. So even though Contagion contains some of the myths associated with disaster movies, overall, it is a much more realistic movie which presents real solution to potential problems.

Andy Warhol is one of the most spectacular artists of the 20th century. He was the one to combine a paradoxical approach to modernist art – on one hand, he was a “commercial artist”, on the other, he tried to be a fine artist. His uniqueness is expressed not in the manner he handled paint (though combination paint and silk-screen technique is characteristic for him) but in his choice of subject or content of his works.
The success of his painting depended hardly on the quality... Andy Warhol Ambulance Disaster ...
